"Death, be not proud, though some have called theeMighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,And soonest our best men with thee do go,Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell;And poppy or charms can make us sleep as wellAnd better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?One short sleep past, we wake eternally,And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die."

so... much,... motto... she should start with the Avengers... then with the x-men...or with Wolverine, Scott, and Cap... then go out with drink with Emma, applauding her putting up with all that crap for so long.

...man, I should be excited about this. I love Jean. But damn if I don't expect this to end up being Rachel taking her mom's old costume and name or a time-displaced chrono-echo or something. Or bringing her back for one panel and killing her off. Or having this be another First Class series. (Though I love First Class.)

Still, if it works out, yay! Don't get back together with Scott! STAY AWAY FROM THAT MAN AND HIS HORRIBLE DEATH PENIS. Become the new Marvel psychologist, now that Leonard Sampson is dead! (Is he still dead?)

I have a feeling that it's going to be something else. Jean back in time, or perhaps that's Hope but Jean Grey's inhabiting her body, or something else entirely. I dunno. It seems that to tease us with this when we're only halfway through the event seems rather... odd.

On the one hand, Jean Grey is probably one of my fave characters in comics, or at least in X-Men based cartoons, and as annoyed as I am that she's a punchline in fandom, I /would/ like to see her back.

On the other hand, from what I've seen of current X-Men comics (and what they've done to my poor Emma), I have a feeling this is not actually going to make me happy.

There's a reason I always said that these fuckin creators need to THINK before doing any kind of shock moment. Think before doing it and it sure as fuck better make sense and mean something. Don't do it just to do it and don't make it cheap. I don't mind a death and return on occasion but it gets sooo ridiculous when it's constant. Just stop killing characters and when one dies, make it mean something. By this point when someone dies, my reaction is "Oh he's fine. He'll be back next week."

Bringing her back would just mess up my head canon, and apparently upset a lot of people. If that makes you feel better, lots of people are hoping for her to be brought at some point too. I've seen them on the internet.

Can she not have a romance with Logan or Scott if she's coming back? How about she's single and wants to stay single for awhile and figure out her life? And maybe go hang out with Storm, Domino, and Pixie because they're being sneaky and awesome.

It's just, this isn't much of a shocker ending when it's the thing I kept hearing people call when the Phoenix first started showing signs of coming back. The neat twist would to not bring her back.

*sigh* I want Jean Back... but i don't know how I feel about them bringing a "Young Jean Grey" back... she is most likely not as powered. and probably lost any character development she has gained over the years....
